Abstract/Contents

Abstract: A comprehensive summary and reflection on the system of parole and how its focus on individual 'defects' fails to adequately represent those who are incarcerated, especially those in the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality, more specifically Black and Brown transgender, gender variant, and intersex people. The community partner I worked on this project with is TGIJP, or the Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project based in San Francisco, California.
